New store has it all in the (hand)bag

1 comment December 14th, 2007

If designer inspired purses are your thing, a new store in Roscoe has them.  Too Purse ‘N’ All, open since Dec. 1 at 5306 Williams Drive in Main Street Square, Roscoe, carries look-alike handbags that resemble brands such as Coach, Burberry, Brighton and Kate Spade.

Proprieter Phaedra Morgan said designer-lookalike purse parties are a big hit in the Rock River Valley area, and she saw a market for a store carrying such items. “This seemed like a lot of fun and a way to meet people in the community,” she said.  She also plans to make the store available to reserve for anyone who wants to hold after-hours purse parties.

Morgan plans a grand opening celebration sometime in January. The 1,700-square-foot store is open Mondays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., except on Wednesdays when it is open until 7 p.m.  Also it will be open Sundays from noon till 4 p.m. until Christmas.
